Development Characteristics
With the rapid industrial expansion, the cultivation of technology talents has become very urgent. Moreover, since Tainan Science-Based Industrial Park (SBIP) Lujhu and Nan-Tzu Export Processing Zone had established, Kaohsiung, the most important industrial and commercial city in the southern part of Taiwan, will become a transportation center in the Asia-pacific region. To support such human resource demands, the Department of Electrical Engineering was established in February 2000 as one of the first founding departments of the College of Engineering at NUK. The educational objective of this department is to provide the students with both theoretical knowledge and practical expertise in electrical engineering. Currently, the department has Undergraduate Program, Master Degree Program and In-service Master Program. A Ph.D. Program will be granted in the year 2011. For each year, the alumni of EE earn brilliant acquirement and have excellent accomplishments in various career domains. The department is making efforts in the lead for the development of high-technology industry and has great contributions in Taiwan.
